In this video, we install PostgreSQL inside our WSL (Windows Subsystem for Linux) development environment and create a local development database.

We walk through:

Installing PostgreSQL
Starting the PostgreSQL service
Setting a password for the default postgres user
Accessing PostgreSQL from the terminal

This is part of the LetsVibeCode beginner developer setup series where we build a complete development environment from scratch using Linux, VS Code, Node.js, PostgreSQL, and AI-assisted coding tools.
